Saw the article.
I’m thinking the setup thesis may be the right one. Lilly just stopped its monoclonal antibody trials.
Operation Warp Speed has been pretty amazing. There’s bound to be something for everyone to complain about, however.

2016 was a vote about the court.
2020 is a vote about civility, it’s just that too many people view trump as less civil than antifa.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Wow. I hadn’t really looked at his resume in a long time. He became president on the strength of less than 5 years of work experience outside of campaigning for higher office.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)That’s totally unfair Rocky. His massive cognitive impairment has nothing to do with this. 😎

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)We should just abolish laws in general. They are oppressive tools of white supremacy as well.
No laws, no disproportionate impacts, problems solved!

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)You guys are hitting on the problem that I am bothered by. Whistling past the graveyard sums it up. I fear that the electorate is going to vote Biden in ONLY because we are tired of the noise from and around trump, when in reality his policy positions are closer to the pin than anything the Dems are putting out there. GR’s commentary has been consistent about just moving on from Trump, but I fear that’s a frying pan to fire proposition.
No, Trump hasn’t been fiscally responsible. That is bothersome. Trump has, however, put far less faith in government planning than the Dems ever would. And that focus on the private sector is what matters. People forget easily that the 2016 election was expected to precede a recessionary period by most educated people. It took a massively over-played pandemic response to bring the recession on…three and a half years later.

Genius. I mean a communications artist. She deserves public office.
Portland deserves her.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Yeah. The excuse not to cover it isn’t a good excuse, but it passes these days.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think the Russia story has become so big and complex that the news has an excuse not to cover it. We literally had a regime planning for the downfall of the next regime by poaching land mines all over the place.
I hope the Obama admin gets its historical asterisk, but I doubt it. He was such a symbol of hope it would be tough for people to admit the criminal behaviors that he endorsed down the stretch.
As for HRC getting indicted I don’t see it happening. A more likely scenario is that trump is defeated at the polls and all this goes away quietly as conspiracy theory.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=2927]The NBC Poll that had Trump down 14 had 15% more Dems than R’s in its 800 person sample. [/quote]
If that’s true, then how do they get away with it? Is that simply a result of so-called oversampling and scaling to ensure minority representation? Seems like research malpractice to me.
Just for math’s sake, if the electorate is 40% R/D and 20% independent, then that would have meant that the sample was somewhere around 37/43 in favor of dems. Now, that doesn’t explain a 14 percent difference between Trump and Biden, but it is a huge swing toward dems when you look at it.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t find the comment all that controversial. It’s narrow—he could easily have inserted white man keeping the power on, for instance—but not the gaffe he’s used to.
Now, if he had said, for instance, that he owes his bunkering at home to a black woman’s pancake syrup, he would be in trouble.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)China already has an undue influence on American politics. The Hong Kong speech code is case in point.
